Fast Core Strength

Hi friends,

Today, I have a great tip for Fast Core Strength.

How many times do you find yourself slouching in a given day?

No, really think about it for a second. How many times do you allow your shoulders and head to slump forward placing undo pressure on your low back?

Probably scary that you can't even count how many times you do it because it occurs ALL DAY LONG.

So here is a really quick tip to eliminate back pain and put you on the path to a STRONGER CORE!

Next time you find yourself slouching follow these easy steps:

1. Draw your shoulders back

2. Keep your head neutral between your shoulders

3. Draw your belly-button in while flexing your glutes

This will help allow for greater muscle fiber recruitment and place your body in a neutral position taking any pressure off your lumbar spine.

This will help strengthen your core without having to perform a workout.

The results can be less low back pain, a stronger sexier core and more overall calories burnt during the day.

Helping you find your inner core,
